You brought the portraits to life—now see your impact

Because of you and your belief in Evergreen students, over $400,000 was given through the Art of Giving, creating more than 100 student scholarships. That’s 100+ students whose learning experiences will be better thanks to you.

This collective achievement reflects what’s possible when our community rallies together for Evergreen students. We are grateful to every guest, donor, sponsor, and volunteer for your partnership.

On behalf of our students, thank you for all you’ve made possible by supporting the Evergreen Scholarship Fund. We couldn’t have done it without you!
